Today I gave a talk at Velocity about a recent side project of mine called dpxdt. "Depicted" makes continuous deployment safe by comparing before and after webpage screenshots for each release. It shows when any visual, perceptual differences are found. This is the ultimate, automated end-to-end test.

If you'd like to know more about the motivation behind Depicted, be sure to check out this video presentation. I'm looking forward to adding many features to this tool. I need help. Webhook callbacks, Firefox screenshots, IE screenshots in a VM, email notifications, and much more functionality is missing. Contributions are welcome on GitHub or discuss ideas on the mailing list.
